Brad,

Look, I know you're just trying to be helpful, but for Christ's sake I know we don't have a covert action running right now. I'm just going back to the other screen to review the soldiers' records, so that I know which two to send on the next one I've got picked out. If someone I know could provide that information in the covert ops ring, I wouldn't need to do that and create the unfortunate illusion that I've suddenly stopped giving a shit about covert ops, but that is apparently beyond the scope of our available IT technology.

Not that I'm not grateful for your attention to detail, and indeed for springing me from Alien Captivity in the first place! But! Between you nagging me about stuff I'm literally in the process of doing as you nag me about it, Shen constantly bitching that some of her engineers are idle when they physically cannot all work on the currently available projects, and Tygan whining that the science team is idle seconds after presenting me with a list of precisely zero potential subjects for them to research, I'm getting a bit fed up. Jesus Christ, give a man 15 seconds to accomplish a complex task, will you? I'm a psionic Übermensch but I'm not a fucking god.*

Yrs,
Zeb
